Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #7 (JOHNNY RAY) (9-2) - Blinkers go on 3-year-old who is dropping in class for this attempt. He's been competitive in all three at this met facing $50K state bred claimers and is in with $20,000 'open' foes for this attempt.

2nd pick: #10 (Lucky Sun) (6-1) - Long shot tired here at this tag going 6 furlongs April 28. He was sent hard from an inside post, draws much better today, and second leading rider Franco is replacing apprentice Ceballos. Win candidate at a big price.

3rd pick: #4 (Downside Up) (3-1) - The field's busiest maiden has been competitive at this level in four straight and has finished second here in his last pair. Stalker is an obvious contender.

4th pick: #1 (Advantageous) (8-1) - Another longshot, gelding is dropping into a claimer for the first time, is switching from turf to dirt, and is cutting back in distance. He's lightly raced, has the rail, and home bred has plenty of room for upside.
